Hi guys I am new to this, I have been reading for a while but never posted a message. Just a question to ask which has been bugging me every day. I was diagnosed with Pap Cancer in Sept 07 and had a total thyrodectomy in November 07. My endo had advised me that the cancer had not spread to any other part of my body and I am taking Thyroxin 150mg a day. My queston is has anyone had the same as myself where the cancer was contained but still had a recurrance of cancer anywhere in the body. Maybe I am just paranoid but I woke up last september on my daughters 2nd birthday to find a tumor the size of a golf ball poking out of my neck and I never knew it was there. i now just feel as though I need to be more observant of my body and what it is doing. do we ever stop worrying that it might come back it is all I ever think of and dread the thought of having to tell my family again. I would appreciate any responses.
